Night Lights - "After Dark" Photography

 

Street lights, headlights, architectural lights and fluorescent signs all create very different qualities and colors from those found in daylight. These light sources can produce unusual images and convey distinct moods sensed only after the sun sets. This hands-on workshop begins in the classroom where the particulars of night photography will be discussed, including:

 

• Night photography equipment
• Overriding automatic settings
• Metering for long exposures
• Using filters or white balance

 

After class, we will meet at Pasadena City Hall to put what we learned to the test. Students will take photos at dusk and at night under the guidance of a photography professional. Required: a digital camera, extra batteries, memory cards; or film camera (any brand color film, ISO speeds 100, 200, or 400); and a tripod. Make plans to drive your own car or to carpool with others to the photo location. Class is limited to 15 students. Advance registration required.

 

Equipment:

• Digital camera with extra batteries and memory cards; or
• Film camera (any brand color film, ISO speeds 100, 200, or 400)
• Camera Manual
• Small flashlight
• Tripod (required)

 

Note: Students are required to sign a liability waiver prior to departure. 
PCC requires all travelers carry their own medical/accident insurance,
and does not provide this coverage.

 

Presenter: Brian Leng, a commercial photographer and teacher, will be
on hand to answer any questions regarding your digital or film camera’s
controls, as well as provide you with helpful suggestions regarding composition.
